AT LAST NIGHTS CONVENTION.

Sitting Bull Lawson has never failed to
turn up as q kicker.
1t was one of the largest local conventions
ever held in this city.
Mr.. Elihu Roots speech was one Of his
finest oratorical efforts.
The delegates from the Ninth District we're
unanimous for Nicoll and MARITIME.
Ernest Crosby, the apostle of temperance,
and Jacob Hess, the brewer, sat together.
Every candidate on the Republican ticket
favored the nomination of Nicon and Mar
tine.
The general opinion seemed to be that the
ticket would be elected by at least $1,000
votes.
Mr.. George W. Lyon withdrew gracefully
as the slated nominee for Judge of General
Sessions.
There was the greatest enthusiasm and the
mention of Mr.. Nicolls name always evoked
great applause.
Mr.. Edward Mitchell surprised his friends
and Mr.. Niecoii.
Mr.. Cornelius N. Bliss was heard to say
This is glorious work. The people will in
dorse our action"
Business men who are members of the Re-
publican party, but who do not usually at
tend conventions, were present in large num-
bers.

Chances that the Former VIII Succeed the

ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING woRLp.l
CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 26.-Perhaps the most
disturbed man in the State to-day is William
e. Chandler. At the time Of his election to
the United States Senate the rival candidates
were not of q dangerous sort, as matters then
STOOD. Mr.. Chandler's term expires in 1889
and he is exceedingly ambitious to succeed
himself. In the railroad fight he has claimed
to be neutral. Whatever editorials he has
written for lis paper, the Concord Monitor,
have been Of Utopian character, with no
particular reference to the railroad contest.
BY his veto of the Hazen bill Gov. Sawyer
has come to be prominently mentioned, to-
gether with others, for the United States
Senate in 1889, and Mr.. Chandler has sunk
into insignificance in connection Herewith,
and his disquietude is very marked. II is O
we'll known fact that Mr.. Chandler's election
was only secured by the most ex-
ertions of his friends political, and that, had
there been al available candidate of any con-
siderable strength, the ex-Secretary of the
Navy could not have been elected.
1t is currently reported that Mr.. Chandler
owes his election to Frank Jones, who re-
fused to support him, in accordance with a
mutual agreement made before the session
Of the Legislature opened. The position he
has taken in the railroad fight has estranged
the greater part of his influential friends, and
it is very doubtful if he is returned to the
United States Senate from New Hampshire.

BosroN, Oct. 2e.-Democrats in Boston
and in fact all over the State, are greatly en-
couraged by the outlook for November. The
publication Of General Ames's war record in
Sundays Giobe has aroused intense excite
ment all over the State. The Grand Army
men do not take kindly to the man from
North Easton, at best, and this exposure
has added material strength to the chances
Of Henry b. Lowering, whose war record
Is well known.
Registration closed in Boston yesterday and
q hurried calculation, with estimates Of the
registration at the ward offices last evening,
gives q total of 10, 023 names placed on the
supplementary voting lists. This would
make O total number OF 60, 3l6 names on the
voting lists, or 4,451 more than were On the
lists for the State election of last year, and
over 1900 more than were on the final lists
last year. This increase is partly due to an
increased registration, signs of which were to
be seen some days ago, but in larger part to
the increase of 5 ,430 names on the first list OF
this year, as compared with the first list Of
1885. The increased registration Is mainly
Democratic.
Henry b. Lowering, Democratic candidate
for Governor, begins next Monday morning
q two-weeks' tour Of the State. He will
speak several times q day. The Republican
managers have recently made another de.
mand on the present Governor for additional
fuDda

TOOK THE RIGHT O A

The Republicans rose TO the emergency.
They took the right road. They put prin-
ciples above party.
In nominating NIcoLL and MARITIME they
put aside narrow partisanship and acted for
the public interests. In thus serving the
people they serve their party.
No true Democrat will begrudge them
praise for the nomination Of Democrats, who
stand for the best sentiment Of the Democ.
racy. Notrue Republican will hesitate to sup.
port nominations that mean the prosecution
and punishment Of thieves regardless Of
party.
For this bipartisan service the Republi.
cans deserve credit. For this their reward
will be success.

he now is Clerk, is running against ex-Alder-
man Engle, and the German vote is divideN.
Joseph Benjamin, ex-Deputy Coroner, and

thing with the German vote in the Second
District. Both fights are being made on the
strength of the personal popularity of the
candidates.
The Democratic Aldermen at-large have q
the fact that Assemblyman Thos. H. Farrell
will give him o close run in the Fourth Dis
trict, and j. Stewart Ross will endeavor to
help the Democratic ticket by making o big

wants to throw away good money running
against him. He will be practically unop.

Just look at the situation for a minute. The
whole press is the advocate OF Nlcoll for District
Attorney. That is significant because the press Is
the multiform organ Of the people. 1t is closer to
the peoples life; 1t knows more Of their feelings,
their hopes, their conscience, their demands, than
any other Institution In the country. When 1t is
unanimous, as in the present instance, 1t is almost
dead sure to be right. Say what You please, the
press has the welfare of the city at heart, and when
it's advocacy is strong and emphatic It simply
voicesthat public sentiment which 1t is dangerous
for the politician to resist.

THE ONE ISSUE,

Good government is the sole issue in the
municipal contest.
Our Republican contemporary, the Tribune,
truly'says The honest Democrats, and hon-
est citizens, without regard to party, have
the same interest in the election"
Honest Democrats have the deeper interest,
II there is any difference. The defeat Of an
unworthy candidate and the election of q
faithful official and sound Democrat, through
O revolt Of the honest voters, will teach the
false leaders to respect public opinion here
after.
Discipline is sometimes as necessary for q

COAL MINERS TO COMBINE.
The Two Great Organizations to be Merged

Into One.
PIrTsBURa, Oct. 26.-An effort isto be made
to unite the coal miners throughout the en-
country into one national organization. The
Knights of Labor and the Federated Miners
will try and arrange for a consolidation of
the two organizations. Looking to this end
the Miners National Assembly of Knights of
Labor issued a letter to-day invit-
ing the Executive Board of the Fedora
ton to meet with them and arrange
a plan Of amalgamation. 1t is understood
that the Federation is favorable to the
scheme, and that at the proposed meeting
the initial steps to decide which organization
shall be merged into the other will be taken.
There are at present about 250, 900 coal miners
in the country. OF this number 1000 are
members of the Knights of Labor and 1900
are in the Federation. The balance are un-
organized, and every effort will be made to
bring them all into the fold.
